Courtois deletes statement

Courtois will complete his Real Madrid medical today and sign a six-year contract.

His departure will cost Real £35m and Mateo Kovacic, who joins Chelsea on loan.

Courtois will be replaced by Kepa Arrizabalaga between the Chelsea stick and the shot-stopper had released a statement on Facebook regarding the transfer, but it has since been taken down. An announcement is expected at 12.30pm today.
